PSA Singapore and PIL successfully trial low-carbon end-to-end shipments

PSA Singapore and Pacific International Lines (PIL) have completed their first trial of low-carbon green shipments in a joint effort to build a more sustainable end-to-end supply chain ecoystem. 

The pilot consisted of warehouse-to-warehouse cargo flow from Singapore to Chongqing via the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the containers, bound for Mitsui Chemicals Asia Pacific’s beneficial cargo owner, were transported by PIL’s Kota Ratna vessel and PSA’s costal terminal and rail nodes in Singapore, Qinzhou and Chongqing. 

Green levers used in the pilot, which was part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in October 2023 by both parties to collaborate on green and sustainability solutions to decarbonise supply chains, included the use of biofuel on the Kota Ratna and landside supply chain optimisation by PSA.
